Offering a surprisingly fresh look at Israeli society, this authoritative book casts a new light on one of its most fascinating and important social features- the relationship among Israeli ethnic groups.

Buku ini menjelaskan bagaimana kontrak sosial yang dimeterai Perlembagaan Persekutuan 1957 dirangka untuk tujuan menyelesaikan kepentingan semua kaum di Tanah Melayu, baik majoriti mahupun minoriti. Pada masa sama, buku ini turut merungkai bagaimana 'kontrak sosial' yang tidak wujud secara istilah pada teks Perlembagaan Persekutun 1957 diguna pakai untuk menterjemah takrif persefahaman dan kesepakatan bagi keadilan sosial tiga kaum terbesar di Tanah Melayu. Perlaksanaannya berteraskan semangat mendalam dan ia terbukti berkesan memelihara keharmonian kaum sehingga hari ini. Berikutan itu, ia wajar dilindungi dan buku ini akan memperincikan perbincangan yang disertakan dokumen lengkap bagi membolehkan kontrak sosial difahami dan seterusnya menutup debat percanggahan serta pertelingkahan yang hanya bermaksud mengucar-ngacirkan negara.
